no, that is owned by apache too. from the same machine as the repo, [root@marge files]# svn import knots http://192.168.1.74/repos/files -m "initial" svn: Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to OPTIONS request for 'http://192.168.1.74/repos/files' So although I can import using file:/// it also blocks me (as root) when I use http:// Is it something in the apache setup? regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ.
